Goldberg recently spoke with ESPN’s Brian Campbell after his big WWE Survivor Series win over Brock Lesnar, and talks about looking ahead to the 2017 Royal Rumble.
You can read a few excerpts below:
Goldberg talks about beating Brock Lesnar in shocking fashion at Survivor Series:
“I think at this time in my career, the best way to take [Lesnar] down was shock and awe, to do something that nobody would expect against a monster like that,” Goldberg said. “At the end of the day, you have smart marks all over the world thinking that they know the outcome of a match. I don’t believe any of them thought that was going to be it.”
Goldberg says his only focus is on the Royal Rumble match now:
“I’m only as good as my next appearance and my next match. I’m concentrating on the Royal Rumble and that’s it. I don’t have any plans of doing anything afterwards. My focus is on the 29 other men that I’m going to have to crucify to win that damn match.”
Goldberg says he’ll bring the same intensity to the Royal Rumble that he always has:
“My fans can expect the same thing that they hopefully fell in love with years ago,” Goldberg said. “I’m still the same guy mentally and emotionally. But things have changed and I don’t present myself physically maybe the same way. But it doesn’t mean that inside of this mind there’s still not that monster that’s ready to come out.”
